Martine Nouet
Nose
Rich antique bouquet. Exotic wood. Polished floor. Galanga. Creamy. Vanilla toffee. Orange and chocolate biscuit.
Palate
Smooth, syrupy. Raisins. Marmalade. Chocolate mousse. Wood never gives away.
Finish
Dries off on wood notes. Spicier as time goes.
Comment
Muscular. Welcome in a blizzard but don't expect Mozart when you are likely to get Wagner.
